Chapter 51 Diao slave
Before the carriage arrived at Cheng's mansion, Xu Ruqing couldn't wait to say goodbye and left. He looked back and saw the Second Miss Cheng getting out of the carriage with a faint smile on her lips, which made his heart tremble in fright, and his steps became even tighter. quick.

Cheng Xueyao walked in the front as usual, with a masterful air. When she walked into the inner courtyard, she said to Xinnuo: "Sister must be tired after a day of playing. You go back and rest first. We will have dinner later. I Then someone will call you."

Xinnuo didn't care at all about her hostess attitude, and said with a smile: "No, I'm very comfortable eating with my grandparents. If you are really free, send the two of you to take a look outside Cheng Yuqian Why haven’t these two brothers come back yet?”

Speaking of this, Cheng Xueyao also became worried.

The two brothers came back earlier than they did. After joining the Yuan family's boat, Cheng Yuqian and Cheng Yuxun watched the singing and dancing there for a while.

Afterwards, they saw a few classmates on the shore, and they went down.

Cheng Yuqian also said that he went back to the city after playing for a while, and they did see the young scholars riding horses and swimming outside, heading towards the capital.

Cheng Xueyao smiled and said, "How do you know, sister, that Qian'er and the others haven't come back yet? The two of them have always been obedient, so they must have returned by now."

Xinnuo shrugged, called the boy who was carrying the lotus root, and headed for the pear garden.

The small courtyard was quiet, so the sound of Xinnuo's footsteps approaching brought infinite vitality to the small courtyard.

The old and new lady was sitting in the shade of the pear tree doing needlework. When she heard the footsteps, she looked outside and said, "Jingsi, go pour some tea and let it cool."

With a snap, Jingsi reluctantly threw away the embroidered stretcher in her hand. She didn't know how hard she used it, but the stretcher jumped out of the embroidery frame and rolled directly to the feet of Xinnuo who had just walked in. .

When she saw Xinnuo, her face turned pale, she gave a quick salute and left.

"Stop." Xin Nuo said, then turned around and ordered the boy in the outer courtyard to put down the lotus root.

The boy carefully placed the lotus root by the wall, and he couldn't help but wonder. The servants in the inner courtyard all have eyes that reach to the sky, right?
He just chewed the bottom of this lady's tongue in private, but he actually dared to smash things in front of her!

Even if she wasn't raised in the house, she is still a young lady.

The boy in the outer courtyard sighed and left. Jingsi stood there for a while without listening to the young lady's instructions. He wanted to move again and hurriedly left in front of him.

But before he could move, the clear and sweet voice sounded again: "Did I let you move?"

Xinnuo was happily talking to the old lady about what he had seen and heard outside one day. Seeing how casual she was, he stood up and asked, "I'm not at home. Is this how you treat my grandparents?"

The new and old ladies spoke for the girl: "Fortunately, she's quite obedient."

It's not like she and the old man can't do anything, and they don't want to order the little girl to do a bigger job.

Xinnuo didn't care about this. She knew with her toes that her grandparents would not care about a few little girls, and their service must be rough.

But my family doesn't often use servants, so I'm not used to having others do everything for me.

What she couldn't bear was this girl's attitude towards her grandma.

Did you throw anything in front of you?Who does she think she is?
Jingsi finally became afraid. Facing the hibiscus face that seemed to have been tempered with a layer of ice mist, she hurriedly whispered: "I didn't mean this."

Xinnuo said coldly: "You said it wasn't intentional, so I'm going to forgive you? Or do you think I'm really just a lady who came home halfway and can't say anything?"

"Miss, Jingsi certainly wouldn't dare to think that way." Someone stood up and spoke for Jingsi.

Her name was Yuan'er, and she was one of the maids sent by Mrs. Cheng two days ago. Xinnuo watched these two days, and all the maids seemed to take her as the leader.

"Are you the roundworm in her stomach?" Xinnuo asked.

Yuan'er's face was ugly for a while, but she still couldn't refute this, so she put her hands together and bowed her head and said, "Miss, if you deliberately find fault with the servants, the servants will have nothing to say."

"You still have nothing to say. I think you are really powerful." Seeing her contradicting her like this, Xinnuo's aggressive factor was stimulated again, as if she had been manipulated many times before. I can regain my position.He turned around and sat down and said, "It's best. You really have nothing to say. Don't pretend to be submissive to me and then go back to Mrs. Cheng to complain."

Yuan'er, who had this plan in mind, was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "I don't dare."

"Don't just say you don't dare," Xin Nuo leaned back on the chair and said very comfortably: "I brought so many lotus roots and want to eat lotus root noodles. Please, you two sisters who dare not disrespect me, go and Grind it in the kitchen."

Yuan'er was surprised and unwilling, she is the big maid in the troupe, how much will the second young lady have to rely on her in the future, just don't give her any face, and still want to order her around?
Seeing that she and Jingsi were standing there motionless, Xinnuo asked, "What's wrong? I can't control you anymore? Otherwise, I'll go find Mrs. Cheng. Oh no, it's my mother who's asking. She's looking for me." A young lady or a maid?"

"Oh, sister, it's so lively here."

Cheng Xuelian walked in in high spirits, completely different from the anxious and panicked look when she left the house in the morning.

Her eldest maid Huang Oriole was also smiling, holding a bamboo basket in her hand.

Xinnuo stood up, bowed, and asked, "How come Sister Xuelian has time to come to my place?"

Cheng Xuelian seemed to be in a good mood. He walked over and gave her a playful kiss on the face, and said with a smile: "Come to see you, don't you agree?"

Xinnuo didn't like any physical contact with others, so she hurriedly avoided it.

The new and old ladies smiled and said, "Girl, please have a seat."

"Hello, new grandma," Cheng Xuelian greeted with a smile, "I won't sit down. These are apricots from my friend's house. I brought a basket to my sister."

Xinnuo asked, "Is Lu Qingyang okay?"

Cheng Xuelian nodded subconsciously, and then said in surprise: "Sister, how did you know something was wrong with the Lu family?"

Xinnuo said casually: "I heard about it."

Cheng Xuelian hurriedly said: "Don't listen to the nonsense from outsiders, brother Lu was not arrested by people from Dali Temple, but went to testify." Speaking of this, she looked around, covered her lips with a handkerchief, and lowered her head. He said: "I vaguely heard a sentence or two, which was related to the servant girl of our family who died in vain."

Xin Nuo asked: "What else did sister hear? When we returned to the city, the city gates were closed."
